Chapter 8 Renewable Energy Part 1 Where do we get energy from ? PLANETARY ENERGY RESOURCES Non-Renewable Sources • Fossil-fuel sources of energy: • Coal • Gas • Oil • During earlier periods of the Earth’s history‚ fossilization of biological material created the deposits of coal‚ oil and gas‚ of which at least 1023 Joule is presently believed to be recoverable in a form suitable for fuel uses (Sorensen‚ 2011). • Nuclear energy may be released in large quantities from nuclear reactions (Sorensen

(Energy Information Administration‚ 2006b) While there are few competitive options to petroleum for the transportation segment‚ renewable alternative energy resources do exist to lessen the reliance on fossil fuels in other sectors. Resources such as biomass‚ geothermal‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ and solar all do their respective parts to lessen the world ’s reliance on fossil fuels. It is the latter; however‚ that has the greatest potential

Depletion of Natural Resources - Oil DEPLETION OF ENERGY RESOURCES Modern industrial society is based on a triad of hydrocarbons‚ metals‚ and electricity. The three are intricately connected; each is accessible only if the other two are present. Electricity‚ for example‚ can be generated on a global scale only with hydrocarbons. The same dependence on hydrocarbons is true of metals; in fact the better types of ore are now becoming depleted‚ while those that remain can be processed only with modern

Renewable Energy Sources are defined renewable non-fossil energy sources including wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ wave‚ tidal‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ landfill gas‚ sewage treatment plant gas and biogases. In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have
